Micro card edge connector for 1.6 mm PCB applications

The new HARTING Micro Card Edge connector is designed for surface mounting on 1.6 mm thick printed circuit boards in board-to-board mezzanine configurations as well as in small pluggable daughterboard applications.

A key feature of the new connector in mezzanine applications is that it enables flexible but stable spacing between parallel boards to be achieved in configurations where small boards of different lengths are plugged between the connectors.

The HARTING Micro Card Edge connector allows data transfer rates of up to 14 Gbit/s, and is available with 40 or 100 contacts in 0.8 mm pitch.

An extremely smooth contact surface is achieved by the use of high-performance stamping tools, while a special surface finish ensures low insertion forces and a high contact reliability.

The connector is also optimised for high-volume manufacturing with tape-and-reel packaging and pick-and-place machinery.
